Upload Files and store in files system in backend

There are several media organizer plugins in the repository you could try out and see if any are suitable. There are also plugins to let you organize media by category or similar taxonomy. While the files might all be in one place, you can filter the library view by taxonomy term.

Thanks for the answer!

Yes there are several but i am looking for one which combined both.
First a member should fill out data and select a topic (choose from dropdown menu). This is easy with like contact form 7. Those uploaded files for example (.pdf, .docx. etc.) should be then automatically stored in any kind of folder system in the backend. Here is the problem. I cannt find a plugin doing both.
A file send to for expamle my email is easy but i want it in the backend in a choosen topic…

Any idea?

If you can organize files in the back end by taxonomy terms, why would it matter where they are actually stored? As long as the related information is presented in an organized way and WP knows where to access the associated file, why would it matter where it’s stored?

In a similar vein, a file’s path is also an arbitrary organization. The file is actually stored in somewhat locations on disk in various sectors. Often the sectors are not even contiguous. Actual file storage appears completely chaotic to us humans, but the computer knows how to access the data. We’re not concerned with its physical storage. All we care about is its path an name.

If we organize by taxonomy instead of path, why should we be concerned with how it’s actually stored?

It’s not uncommon that we cannot find one plugin to do it all. Often multiple plugins are needed to achieve the functionality we desire. Sometimes custom coding is needed to tie everything together. Sometimes, to avoid conflict and more custom work, we compromise on our desires and settle for what works with what’s available.

Your speech belongs to every question in this forum. The problem is that people are here looking for concret help and not for a general statement about life.

And thats why I asked a community if someone knows a plugin for me so that I do not have to program it myself because I do NOT have the skills.
If the machin sets a pointer with an unique ID for any files yes congratulation but it is not very helpful.
